On-site summer garden the Metropolitan Museum, where a view of Central Park and the skyscrapers of Manhattan, first exhibited to the public three works of Jeff Koons, one of the most epatazhnyh contemporary artists.

The first two works come from the collection of Steven and Alexandra Cohen, a third fund belongs fashion brand Louis Vuitton. All three works of Koons refer to his series «Events».

Remember that version Koons sculpture «hanging Heart» was sold at auction auction house Sotheby's in New York for 23.6 million dollars , erecting 53-year-old sculptor, kontseptualista at the top of the price of contemporary art market.

abstract transparent composition «Album coloring» formed of phallic images beautifully in the sky depends on the Manhattan. No art is difficult to guess that, for the intent of the artist, this is an allegorical «reading» image pig Pyatachka from childhood stories about Winnie the Pooh. The audience can mentally paint «funny picture», a prismotrevshis, see Pyatachke and its own image: the material has a mirror surface.

«hanging heart» the artist, whom critics called the «King of kitsch», like a gift of shiny cellophane wrapper. Mnogotonnaya sculpture gives the impression of weightlessness while chrome metal seems a thin piece of paper so that many visitors to check the donor exhibit to the touch. Warning «hands do not touch!» And the watchful protection do not stop the most inexperienced judges of beauty.
